The band, Stavangerkameratene, is Norwegian for “Stavanger Comrades” and consists of four artists: Kjartan Salveson, Tommy Fredvang, Glenn Lyse, and Ole Alexander Mæland. The band members are no strangers to competition shows: Salvesen and Lyse won Norwegian Idol in 2004 and 2007, Fredvang participated in X Factor 2009, and Mæland in The Voice 2012. Stavangerkameratene is renowned for its folk-pop music. They released their debut album in 2017: Stavangerkameratene. This successful album was followed by their second album, Ein for alle.

Barndomsgater, meaning Childhood streets, combines a powerful message with a folk-pop rhythm. The chorus drives this message of hope in a song sung fully in Norwegian to add a unique flair to the MGP 2021 Final. You can hear the song here:

Apart from Stavangerkameratene, four other acts will be singing on the night. The second heat that will compete for a spot in the final are:

  • Raylee – “Hero”
  • Maria Solheim – “Nordlyset”
  • Daniel Owen – “Psycho”
  • Ketil Stokkan – “My Life Is OK”
